“Through the cooperation of the NFL and New England Patriots’ security teams, the FBI and other law enforcement authorities, the Super Bowl LI jersey worn last month by MVP Tom Brady has been recovered,” the statement read. “Also retrieved during the ongoing investigation was the jersey Brady wore in the Patriots’ victory in Super Bowl XLIX against the Seattle Seahawks in 2015.

“The items were found in the possession of a credentialed member of the international media. Due to an ongoing investigation, we would refer any additional questions to the FBI.”

Fox Sports also reported that the Broncos suspect the same man took Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller’s cleats and helmets, though that has not been confirmed by authorities.

The FBI had to be involved because the jersey was found on foreign soil. The Houston Police Department said on Twitter that the jersey was found in Mexico.

The media was one of several groups to have access to the locker room following the Patriots’ comeback win over the Falcons in the brief time frame when it had been determined the jersey was swiped. The jersey was valued at $500,000.

Proud @houstonpolice Major Offenders Divison traced Brady Jersey to Mexico & it has been recovered with help of FBI & Mexican authorities.

“Whoever took it has to be scared as [expletive],” an NFL source involved with the investigation said last month. “They had no idea what they were getting into. Now it’s everywhere. If that thing is worth $500,000 like some people are saying, that’s prison time. It might not even be easy to give it back at this point.”
